- Designated by the author as the most beautiful character in the entire work; one of the reasons she is distanced and few people have romantic feelings for her is that she is too beautiful. The former comes from the character introduction materials serialized by the author on the web in 2013. Characteristics: Silver hair, dark blue-purple eyes. Even considering she has the blood of elves, a race known for their beauty, she is the most beautiful person in the work. The latter comes from ASK. Q: Even though Emilia is a very beautiful girl, we don't see many people who have feelings (in a romantic sense) for her; is it because she is a half-elf? A: It's because she's a half-elf. Also, she's so beautiful that she's out of reach. Furthermore, during the web serialization period, she changed into various outfits: casual wear, private clothes, and pajamas in the first three chapters; a formal dress in the fourth chapter; and a yukata and wedding dress in the fifth chapter.
- At the Taiwan Comic Exhibition in August 2016, when asked about his favorite character in the original work during the morning exhibition venue and backstage interview, and the evening Animate venue, he admitted it was Emilia on all three occasions. When the author came to Taiwan for the exhibition, he wore an official Emilia graphic tee. Not only that, the author has repeatedly expressed a morbid obsession with silver hair in ASK, made several silver-hair-con-leaning remarks, and stated that silver hair is the world's cutest moe attribute, and that alone is enough. Q: Please tell us the charm of silver-haired heroines. A: Silver-haired heroines are the cutest attribute in the world, so that alone is enough.
When asked on ASK about the item from the novel he most wants in reality, he replied it was the over-the-knee socks worn by Emilia.
- He stated that the creative theme of Re:Zero is "an incompetent male protagonist desperately coughing up blood to pursue a silver-haired heroine and hoping she looks back," which comes from the afterwords of the first and second volumes of the light novel. He also stated on ASK that if there was one character whose existence gave him the desire to create a story, it would be the silver-haired heroine. Q: Among your characters, is there one whose image is indispensable? Like, you wrote the story just to feature a character with this appearance? A: Since she's a silver-haired heroine, it's Emilia. Also, the origin of the Re:Zero story was "a silver-haired heroine being helped by an incompetent male protagonist." Q: How was the work Re:Zero conceived and born? A: While drinking ginger ale with a friend at a family restaurant, we were like, "Wouldn't an incompetent protagonist helping a silver-haired heroine be cool? Right?" and it just turned out like that.
- His Twitter avatar is Emilia's portrait from the first volume's cover, and his pen name for the web novel and Twitter name are both "Nezumi-iro Neko" (Gray-colored Cat). The character in the work that fits this description is Puck, and Puck's feelings for Lia go without saying. On ASK, the author also vaguely mentioned his relationship with Puck. Q: If you could switch places with only the inside (spirit) of a Re:Zero character, who would it be? A: I'd become Puck, burrow into Emilia-tan's silver hair, sniff and huff to my heart's content, and then come back.
- Although the author set her up to be hated and feared by everyone in the world, many named characters in the work—including those with significant roles or great strength—have a very high favorability toward her upon their first meeting (for whatever reason), and some are even willing to give their lives for her.
1. The spirits of the Elior Forest, represented by the young man Arch (who cared for the young Emilia like a princess; when the Black Snake attacked, Arch cut off his own leg to stay behind and cover Lia's escape).
2. Sin Archbishop of Sloth, Petelgeuse (who was so moved upon seeing the young Emilia that he knelt and wept on the spot, and was willing to risk his life to activate the Sloth Factor to protect her against the Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus).
3. Sin Archbishop of Greed, Regulus (who was captivated by her beauty the first time he saw the adult Emilia in Pristella, forcibly taking her to make her his 79th wife; after being rejected, he used the lives of his other 53 wives as a threat to make her submit).The previous 79th wife was killed by Regulus for refusing to marry him; when he encountered Rem and Crusch's carriage, he also attacked and severed Crusch's arm.
4. Puck (No explanation needed. Tappei Nagatsuki! Is that you?!)
5. Natsuki Subaru (No explanation needed. The author's son-in-law, deserves to be tormented).
6. Liliana (The wandering songstress, who was overwhelmed by Emilia's beauty the first time she saw her, marveling that she didn't seem human at all, and composed a song on the spot to praise her beauty).Although she noticed the pointed ears, she didn't mind her resemblance to the Witch of Envy at all.)
7. Clind (The lolicon butler, who treated Emilia as a guest of honor the first time he saw her, praising the purity of her soul and saying her soul had a sense of coolness).He saw through at a glance that Emilia's soul and spirit were still at a loli level; a terrifying lolicon.)
8. Annerose Miload (Roswaal's cousin, a 9-year-old loli young lady, precocious, is truly_lesbiansOne of the few "politically correct" characters in this work, who fell in love with Emilia at first sight and has an exceptionally strong desire for monopoly; the culprit who intentionally taught Emilia the wrong things, leading to her severe lack of sexual knowledge (the ulterior motive of trying to turn her gay even influenced Puck's thinking), and thus views Subaru Natsuki as an absolute love rival.The voice actress is Kana Ichinose, the same as the later lesbian Suletta Mercury.)
Taken together, it could practically be turned into a reverse-harem otome galgame.
- She is the culmination of the author's personal tastes, including but not limited to silver hair (which trumps all other factors), gap moe (loli heart in a young woman's body), angel, and "disappointing" traits (terrible singing, can't cook, bad with numbers). Regarding readers' questions about whether the heroine reflects his personal tastes, he stated, "Only the silver hair is entirely my personal taste, and the other aspects aren't as serious as you think."
In other words, he still admitted it.Answer: Making the heroine silver-haired is completely my hobby. Other parts don't show up as much as you'd say... (rest omitted)
- Except for being killed by the Bowel Hunter at the beginning of the first arc, there have been no descriptions of her suffering serious physical trauma or physical violence to this day; her image has always remained intact. Even when suffering a "Death End," it's not that there are no external injuries,
when her heart is crushed, the only outward sign is coughing up blood,, or it's glossed over in a single sentence, with the outcome described in just one line (and every time, other main characters are sacrificed along with her).Being devoured by the Great Rabbit or having her head erased by Shaula are both described in just one sentence, and all other characters suffered the same fate., compared to other characters, she can be said to have never suffered physical pain: Rem had her limbs twisted off by Sloth, Beatrice had her stomach slashed open by the Bowel Hunter, Petra had her eyes gouged out, Ram had her head crushed by a ground dragon, Anastasia had her abdomen cut open, Crusch had half her body contaminated by the Dragon's Blood curse, and even Priscilla was whipped in the face with chains by the Sin Archbishop of Wrath.
- Her origin and lineage are extraordinary, full of the aura of a hot-blooded male protagonist,
able to activate various "cheats" at any time, a beneficiary of lineage and background tropes,having a pair of parents with extremely high status but mysterious details who are seldom seen (OP lineage get); having a direct connection to the most critical character, Satella the Witch of Envy (looking exactly the same); being one of only two people in the world who can undo the seal linked to the core mystery of the plot; a core character of the story #Redirect EchidnaThe entire world hates only two people, and she is one of themThe other person isWitch of Envy; possesses a massive mystery regarding her background and origins. Her potential is limitless, and in contrast to her terrible talents in cooking and singing, her talent for combat is extraordinary; at the young age of 7, she already had an incredibly high affinity for lesser spirits and could communicate with them, and the lesser spirits would spontaneously do what she wished; her mana is nearly infinite, being the character with the highest mana capacity in official settings, with mana reserves that make the Witches sigh in inferiority. Weather-changing magic that Roswaal needs to prepare in advance to activate could be triggered by a young Emilia simply by going berserk, and the resulting climate change lasted for nearly a hundred years without fading. Her close-quarters combat skills are extremely high, being able to defeat over a dozen large men armed with crossbows and machetes without taking damage using only palm strikes, back throws, and kicks; in Arc 5, with only the combat skills she regained over a year, she could face the Sin Archbishop of Wrath alone. Although she was defeated, in the subsequent battle against the Sin Archbishop of Greed, she demonstrated all-around combat adaptability, capable of AOE, healing, support, reconnaissance, logistics, mana replenishment, melee combat, damage output, and crowd control. She can freely utilize swordsmanship, martial arts, magic, and spirit arts, completing her transformation from a princess to a Valkyrie.She can activate "cheats" at any time through her lineage (Child of the Witch), background (mysterious parents), and by recalling certain past skills (her childhood self was actually her strongest period), and it tastes even better when paired with the line "I remember now!" (Wrong)
